Smile your love across my life Hold my face inside your thoughts Talk with fingers on my spine Whisper your lips over my longing Fold your warmth around my ice And speak with words so soundless "'ana 'uhibbouk Je t'aime Ich liebe dich I love you" I spell your sibilants breathlessly Until you arch me to a crescent Screaming your name in silence Under your fingers I come alive Your name, love, your passion Imploding explosively

A powerful poem of passion and love. I love how your words come alive <3 Even though had to look up a few, sibilants and 'ana 'uhibbouk, it is fun to learn new words! :)

Such a beautiful love poem my friend. but I have to ask, no matter how dumb it makes me look, the first "italicized line", what language is that?

That is not dumb at all, there are no dumb questions :) It is Arabic, my native language, and it simply means I Love You.

Well now. And yes, wow. Explosive, passionate, alive and so much more come to mind. The emotive factor is ever present. Oh the red of it all. Well done on all counts.
